The Glee community is reeling from a major shakeup after the surprising news that Chord Overstreet, who plays Sam, is being dropped from the cast . Meanwhile, fan faves Darren Criss and Harry Shum Jr. were promoted to regulars. That’s great, but largely overshadowed by Overstreet’s ouster. Ashley Fink, who recurred on season two as Lauren, will return next year, although she has not received the same upgrade as Criss and Shrum. “well its been a good yr too bad its over, time for summer and starting fresh,” Chord – who could still recur occasionally – Tweeted after the news. It was not immediately clear why the Fox hit decided not to bring back the popular, 22-year-old actor as part of the third season’s cast. What do you think of this surprising news, Glee fans?
Episode, also featuring Jeremih and Ashley Fink, airs Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV. By Sterling Wong Shay Mitchell on “When I Was 17” Photo: MTV News It’s almost a quintessential American high school rite of passage: Get a fake ID, and sneak into clubs with your girlfriends for the night of your lives. That was certainly the plan for Shay Mitchell, but it all went horribly wrong, as the “Pretty Little Liars” star shares on this week’s “When I Was 17.” “I would say I was a pretty good girl, but there happened to be this one night when a group of my friends decided to go out to this club. Of course, we weren’t of age, so we snuck out, and I think each of us told our parents that we were staying at the other person’s house,” Shay recalls. With their alibis settled, Shay and her girlfriends headed downtown and successfully entered a club with their fake IDs. “We were dancing and having the best time ever. All of a sudden, I’m dancing with some really cute guy, and I feel a tap on my shoulder,” Shay continues. “I turned around, and this person says, ‘Can I have this dance?’ ” And who was this mystery man asking her for a dance? Turns out, it was her father. “I was in complete shock. Never in a million years would I have thought he would’ve come and find us,” she says. Her friend, Jody, explains how Mr. Mitchell managed to sleuth out their location: “[He] found out because my mum had called their house because she thought we were there. No one answered, and I guess all the parents put the pieces of the puzzle together.” Shay describes the hilariously pathetic way she and her friends made their exit. “We walked out the club like sad little ducklings with our heads down,” she remembers. Of course, there were serious consequences for Shay after that night. She was grounded for two weeks, and also had her car keys taken away. But she learned her lesson for sure. “I definitely didn’t ever do that again,” she says. “When I Was 17” — this week featuring Jeremih, Shay Mitchell and Ashley Fink — airs Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Singer learned a valuable lesson when he ‘borrowed’ a friend’s video game. By Sterling Wong Jeremih on ‘When I Was 17’ Photo: MTV News College, as we all know, is a time of crazy experiences, and R&B singer Jeremih definitely had his share of zany antics. On this week’s “When I Was 17,” Jeremih shares his obsession with “Grand Theft Auto” and the trouble it caused him. “When I was 17, ‘Grand Theft Auto’ was one of the biggest games out, and I didn’t have it,” the singer recalls on the latest episode, premiering Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV. However, one of the guys on the floor of his dorm did have the game, but he refused to lend it to Jeremih. Desperate, he hatched a plan. “This one night, I actually went to his room. I knocked and he was asleep. I saw the game and I opened his PlayStation, and bang, I got the game and tried to tiptoe out.” Jeremih then spent the next hour and a half happily playing his beloved game, but the fun was short-lived: The guy’s roommate showed up at his door asking for the game back. “He was like, ‘Man, I know you’re in there! Give me my game!’ ” Jeremih recalls. “I didn’t say anything. I acted like I wasn’t in there.” Perhaps Jeremih thought his troubles would go away in the morning, but he thought wrong. When he woke up and tried to get out of his dorm room, he realized he couldn’t. His door had been glued shut. “I’m like, ‘Yo, what’s going on?’ So this whole time I’m beating on my door for hours, and I literally heard people walking past laughing, like, ‘Why is this dude knocking to get out of his dorm?’ ” Jeremih shares. And this is where the story gets crazier: “I didn’t have another choice, so I looked at the window. I was on the third floor, and luckily there was nothing but bushes, so I put on four coats, and that’s it. If I’m going, I’m going. I jumped out and landed right on the bushes.” “When I Was 17” — this week featuring Jeremih, Shay Mitchell and Ashley Fink — airs on Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV.

To say Glee ‘s Chris Colfer is basking in the glow of his second consecutive Golden Globe nomination for his role as McKinley High’s estranged gay pioneer Kurt is a bit of an understatement. “I’m so excited I’ve been tackling everyone I’ve seen on set today,” he enthuses, before adding with a chuckle, “Whether I know them or not!” Not everyone in the Glee cast shares Colfer’s enthusiasm, however. “Ashley Fink [Lauren] sent me a hysterical text message,” he recalls. “She said she was excited that I was nominated but she was more excited for Burlesque .”
